ICI Podcast #177 – Problem Solved – Two Threshold / Three Zone Heart Rate Training In a Blink
For the past two year’s or so I have been lobbying for a universal “Standard” for the description of Heart Rate Training Zones.

How to Start a Beginner Class at Your Club
Before we talk about how to get a beginner class started, the first question you need to answer is why? Not, why does my club need a beginner class, but why do YOU want to lead one (if this is your plan)? As an instructor starting a beginner class you need 3 main criteria: (1)…

Is a 20 Minute Threshold Field Test realistic for your class? Part 2
Who’s really in your class? Do you look up at a room full of smiling, fit, self-directed, endurance athletes? Or does your class more closely resemble the population where you live?
